How To Make A Steam Multiplayer Game in Unity - Hosting & Joining Lobbies

[@Zihenroy]

Took me 3 hours to implement this into my project and voila its coop now. I really appreciate how fast you are writing/explaining.

[@AlexFigar]

Mirror is need of more recent tutorials like this. It's a really good networking solution but I think it scares off a lot of beginners.

[@Shahmuradov]

In 1:43 when you removed Kcp Transport and added Fizzy Steamworks, you forgot to mention that we also NEED to select Fizzy Steamworks as Transport in our Custom Network Manager, under Network Info. Spent two hours trying to figure out why am I doing the exact same thing as you, but I get errors. This was the problem :) Quick and nice video though, thank you!

Underrated, I've actually been dreading doing a multiplayer game beyond just messing around with friends because I assumed Steam would make it effing impossible. You've shown me it's actually doable so I might actually give it a go.

[@trix_dev6088]

!! INPORTANT !! If you are getting errors saying "There was no active transport when calling NetworkServer..." Or "Must set the Network Address field in the manager" Go to your networkManager and under the custom Network manager script set "transport" under "Network info" to the networkManager game object. This should fix it.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, HOLY MAN! I wonder why people like you haven't been recorded in the Bible yet. I tried to create a lobby in different ways (according to tutorials), it didn't work out correctly anywhere, then the lobby panel itself is not instantiated, then something else. There are 3 errors that came out (2 that you described, and another one caused by the fact that the manager's address is let), I was already desperate, I thought that's it, and I will leave my projects at the levels of creating multiplayer. And here you are... you saved my nerves, thank you!

Solved, had two instances of SteamManager. Also Mirror multiplexer can be used to listen out for lan and online requests

[@Shadowkiwi]

Fixed TLDRL: If the "Server Started Listening" message does not appear for you, the debug line is likely commented out (mine was) The line is in Mirror > Runtime > NetworkServer.cs line 120. When creating a build to test with steam, you need to copy the "steam_appid.txt" from the project folder in the same folder as the games exe file for it to use the SteamAPI. That file was not created in the build for me. Original comment: For some reason the server never starts for me. I even downloaded the source code and used that in case I missed something. The source project works but when using it in mine it just does not do it. The only thing I know is different is I am using the new input system and that Network manager option "Persist Network Manager to other scenes" does not exist for me. I downloaded the 4.4.1 version of Fizzysteamworks

[@Shadowkiwi]

Thought maybe its just a version thing that it does not say the server is listening anymore so with a fresh new build, lobby name changes when in unity. Created a build and clicking the host game button does not work even if opened through steam. I am just at a brick all now :(

[@Shadowkiwi]

Worked out it is listening, its just that that debug log is commented out in newer mirror versions it seems. The line is in Mirror > Runtime > NetworkServer.cs line 120 if anyone comes across this in the future. The builds still done seem to work when running them through steam though so cant properly test

[@Shadowkiwi]

I worked it out! Created a dev debug build and saw the error was something like "unity [Steamworks.NET] SteamAPI_Init() failed". Had to copy the "steam_appid.txt" file from the project into the build folder and that then worked

Quick question, is there any way that other steam users (not on the friends list) can join these lobbies as well or no because in order to add friends on steam, you need to have at least purchased $5 USD in the store so I'm pondering if this is the best online solution for a game like Push Me? Also would joining through a room code be possible or no?

Hi. yes you can most definitely join lobbies without being friends with the host. this can be done in lots of way. one could be just having a list of open lobbies and allow players to join that way. as for a room code you could also do that. For this you'd have to name the lobby the room code, code and then join the lobby through its name. not sure if that makes sense but in a future video I could demonstrate it.

[@AlcadraSoykan]

@Zyger please answer this.

[@hobo2066]

Complete noob question, Im trying to make a game where each lobby has like 6 players, would I be able to use this approach to have one of the users host the server for their friends or random people so that I can get out of paying for servers or is paying for servers unavoidable?

[@ZygerGFX]

When using steam they host for you. So as along as someone opens a host its running of of steamworks but also of the user that hosted. So it's not exactly the same like some other games have it. With this approach things like host migration are impossible among other aspects. So if you want the full server experience you will need to purchase servers. Although this method is better in my opinion since its free, and also I'd only consider buying servers if my game is already doing well and getting big. So a quick answer is yes you can.

[@quackncheese]

Is this still possible with later versions of Mirror and FizzySteamworks? And if so which releases? Thank you and great video!

[@ZygerGFX]

yep still possible a few things to note: You will now need to individually install steamworks, fizzy steamworks and mirror. Before steamworks was included but now you have to do it individually. The app id can no longer be entered in the inspector. Instead in your build folder you need to create a txt file ( one will usually be made automatically) called "steam_appid" where you want to type "480" and save it. Everything else should be the same,.

man you type fast as hell. Not a bad thing though love the video

[@JamisonOwenShow]

Do you know how we could leave a lobby we have entered to go back to the list of all lobbies?

[@xyoxus]

To leave the Steam lobby you can use SteamMatchmaking.LeaveLobby() partner.steamgames.com/doc/api/ISteamMatchmaking#LeaveLobby

This was published a year ago and I'm wanting to implement this, is this still relatively the same or should I look for a more updated video?

[@MaceoKeefe]

wondering the same now

[@casperhuik484]

it seems like my friends are unable to join the server How come?

[@bigjackson420]

Whenever I use the NetworkManager on my button's On Click () the HostLobby() doesn't show up

[@bigjackson420]

I tried restarting Unity, and now I just get Can't add script component because the script class cannot be found.

[@bigjackson420]

Ok, nevermind I fixed it, It was a simple typo I didn't see. (lol)

[@stopmotionman9137]

I get no errors but when i go to click host game nothing happens. Any idea of why this is?

[@ZygerGFX]

make sure that your game folder has a text file called "steam_appid" and make the first line of the text file the app id so either 480 or your custom one.

Hey so I have a question, whenever I import fizzworks (im using the most recent mirror version and im using fizzysteamworks 6.0) theres a bunch of errors. importing mirror is fine but whenever i import fizzysteamworks i get errors mainly relating to steamworks thingsl like "the expression steamworks does not exist in this context" and whatnot. these tutorials seem great but if i could just fix this one issue it would mean the world :)

[@ZygerGFX]

Hey I think I’ve seen this error online before so id reccomend giving it a search. But try and import the steamworks sdk too. So in total you’ll have mirror, fizzysteamworks and steamworks sdk.

[@williamdev25]

@@ZygerGFX ahh that makes sense. thank you!

[@siriuslemaitre4833]

hello is there a way to see all the hosted lobbies in a sort of browse lobbies menu ? or this is a feature that cant be implemented wiht self hosted lobbies

[@siriuslemaitre4833]

oh my bad just saw that you made a tutorial on this topic ! thanks for the quality content !

[@zephthegamer8635]

When i click the host button it just doesnt do ANYTHING. idk why

[@zephthegamer8635]

oh i just re-launched the game, it worked

[@WolfServant]

Anyone know how to disconnect from the lobby without breaking the game?

[@danbe9835]

nice, when second part?

[@MrLonelyDK]

Does this also work with fishnet?? since mirror and fishnet are very simular

[@ZygerGFX]

Probably not since this uses the fizzy steamworks which is specifically an implementation for steam and mirror
